LongView 1000U Extender

The LongView®1000U extender lets you place a keyboard, monitor, mouse, speakers, microphone and serial port up to 1,000 feet away from your computer or Avocent KVM switch.

Multiple challenges faced by your IT organization can be managed by the physical separation of your users from their computer/target device. Challenges include protecting computers from hazardous work environments, protecting computers from accidental damage or theft, and the requirement for centralized IT management.

The LongView 1000U extender is a point-to-point KVM, audio and serial device extender for use up to 1,000 feet. The system is a transmitter and receiver design with an interconnecting UTP cable and easily connects to USB computers.

The system has a unique auto tuning feature that automatically compensates for both video skew and signal degradation over standard UTP cable without compromising the user experience.

The simple transmitter and receiver design assures ease of installation and simple deployment.

Features and Benefits

Feature	Benefit
User
Extends keyboard, video, mouse, speakers, microphone and serial devices up to 1,000 feet with any UTP cable type	Users can remove computers from non-suitable locations such as hazardous work environments, public places, or areas where computer security needs to be protected.
Connect PS/2 and USB keyboard and mouse at the user station, regardless of the target device platform.	The use of PS/2 or USB KM peripherals or a mixture of the two makes the user experience very flexible.
Performance
Automatically compensates for video skew	This unique feature ensures delivery of clear and crisp video up to 1,000 feet. It will compensate for UTP cable categories 5, 5e and 6 alone or in combination, even through patch panels.
Flexibility
The LV1000 extender, with its dual transmitter, will support connectivity to a second user station.	The system can be configured to let you place a second user locally to the computer for maintenance. The computer can also be extended to a second user station up to 1,000 feet away to satisfy applications such as video display, classroom and others.
The serial port supports connectivity to RS232 serial device peripherals like touch screens, bar coders, scanners, etc.	The serial port allows connectivity to your laptop serial port for firmware upgrades. But for normal mode operation this port can be used to connect other serial devices. This gives the user even more flexibility at the desk, especially for command and control applications.
Management
Ease of installation	The single cable-to-user design simplifies installation while making it easier to move, add or change configurations. The design is non-intrusive and requires no special software or drivers.
Optional desk, flat panel monitor, wall and rack mounting.	The mounting options allow for a clean and tidy user desktop environment that saves time, space and money.
Unlike many extenders supports an On-Screen Display interface.	The OSD gives easy access to configuration and system information which simplifies system management.

FAQs

Questions	Answers
Cabling
I have inherited a pre-wired infrastructure. I know it is UTP cable but I am not sure which type. Is that a problem?	No. The LV1000 extender is designed to optimize performance for any CAT 5, 5e and 6 UTP cable types.
I am running my extension connection through at least one patch panel and may have a mixture of UTP cable types. Is this a problem?	No. The LV1000 AutoTuning® technology feature will adjust for a mixture of UTP cable types in the extension path.
I may have to change my extension path from time to time through patch panel changes or to facilitate Moves, Adds, Changes (MAC's). Will this be a problem?	No. Once the extension path is broken and then reconnected, the LV1000 extender will run the AutoTuning feature and optimize the performance for the new extension path.
I have seen some cable manufacturers that promote special skew-limiting UTP cable. Will the LV1000 extender perform better if I use this cable?	The LV1000 extender does not require specialized and expensive skew-limiting cables to be used. Skew compensation is built into its design. It will automatically compensate for any UTP connection path.
Peripherals
Will the LV1000 receiver unit support both USB and PS/2 keyboards on the same unit?	Yes. The LV1000 receiver will support USB or PS/2 keyboard and mouse. It is possible to have a mixture of PS/2 and USB peripherals. It is even possible to have a USB and PS/2 mouse / keyboard connected at the same time.
Will the LV1000 extender support and extend a touch screen?	Yes. The LV1000 extender supports the extension of a serial touch screen device when connected through the LV1000 receiver and transmitter serial ports.
What kind of serial devices are supported by the LV1000 extender?	The LV1000 extender is designed to support any serial device up to a baud rate of 34,800 with full hardware flow control. Examples include touch screen, bar coders, scanners, etc.
Can I use a USB keyboard and mouse on the receiver unit if the target machine is a PS/2?	Absolutely and vice-versa! You can use a PS/2 keyboard and mouse on the receiver with a USB target machine.
Do I have to use a Sun keyboard if the target machine is a Sun?	No. You can use either a PS/2 or USB keyboard.
Target devices
Can the LV1000 extender be connected to a KVM matrix switch?	Yes. Connecting the transmitter to the local port of the KVM switch and extending it to the receiver unit will allow the user to access the OSD menu of the switch. In turn, it also allows selection of the machines attached to the switch.
Technical
What is the maximum specified distance for the LV1000 extender?	1,000 feet.
What is automatic skew compensation?	This is the LV1000 extender method to measure signal transmission time in the individual twisted pairs inside the UTP cable. It can then introduce the appropriate amount of delay to each pair at the receiver end. This assures you that signals transmitted from the target machine are in synch when they arrive at the receiver station. The result is a very clear, high-quality, crisp image on the remote monitor.
How do I power the transmitter units?	The transmitter unit does not require an external power supply as it takes its power from the target machine. The power is taken either through the PS/2 or USB port depending on which type of transmitter is being used.
